Col. Karuna withdraws unilateral ceasefire and declares &quo

[b]Col. Karuna withdraws unilateral ceasefire and declares "war of attrition against Tamil Tigers"[/b]

[b]Colombo, 05 May, (Asiantribune.com): [/b]Provoked by the Tamil Tiger attacks on TamilEela Viduthalai Makkal Pulikal (TVMP) in the east Colonel Karuna’s group has withdrawn from its unilateral declaration of ceasefire announced on January 30, 2006. TVMP states that after the attacks on their cadres on April 30 the ceasefire is no longer valid.

"The unilateral ceasefire is no more. It now stands withdrawn as from 30 April 2006," said Pilliyan, Special Commander of the TVMP. "This Unilateral Ceasefire was declared to create a conducive environment for the Sri Lankan President to continue with his negotiations to bring about a permanent settlement and peace to the Tamils and Tamil-speaking people in particular and to Sri Lanka in general. But after the Tiger attack on April 30 this ceasefire is no longer valid"

Pilliyan said that this was a decision taken by the TVMP Politburo.

He mentioned specifically that when TVMP declared the Unilateral Ceasefire they also said : "At the same time, we wish to emphasize unequivocally that in case Vanni Tigers ignore our Unilateral Ceasefire and continue with their killing spree by attacking our members or our supporters, then we will not stop at simply lodging a complaint with the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission and sit idly". ( "Karuna declares unilateral ceasefire with warning to LTTE")

What a Gem!
For this alone a lot of people will support you. You are not just a politico-military guy but a literary one also!
[quote]We will continue to fight to get rid of them initially from the East and take appropriate action, step by step, to silence those hiding in the Vanni bunkers," vowed Pilliyan.[/quote]
Why are you stopping at Vanni? Please come to Jaffna and Mannar too. Liberate us from them LTTE! But please don't take on the SL Army!
Also don't forget to go to Colombo to receive the award which they deliver in a grand style with elephants and kandyan dancers etc.
I remember CBK did that for the 'Jeyasukuru General' ! (Spelled Jeyasukurui with an 'i' – numerology here!)

[quote]They paid huge sums to buy over the SBS reporter to launch an international propaganda campaign against us. It has not paid any dividends to the Vanni Tigers. It has failed to have any impact."[/quote]
I know you even wrote a letter to them asking to broadcast your statement on or before Saturday by midday Australia time, on 29 April 2006 ; they did and apologized on air. I also hear that there is an internal investigation going on in SBS regarding the bribes. Sue them in Australian courts and get some financial compensation. Don’t try SL courts or Vanni courts they are biased towards Tamil-speaking people

[quote]"The Vanni Tiger forces are now mere mercenaries who receive salaries at the end of the month, [/quote]
Don't use the SBS compensation money on salaries buy new weapons in the international market. You may try the SL Army guys too. They are currpted I hear!
[quote]We know what happened to the Tamils who laid down their arms on the Ceasefire Agreement sold by Erik Solheim[/quote]

I'm sure you know what happened to EPDP, PLOTE, EPRLF who 'laid' down the arms because you were with them!
But only as spectators!

Well I don't know about you, but I think if it really was a propaganda effort [i]it definately had it's effect[/i].

[i]More and more news agencies like Reuters[/i] are reporting that Karuna is backed by the government. If it's true or not, that's [i]the feeling which is spread through the international community[/i].
[/quote]
as i have witnessed in a lot of your postings, you are re-iterating some hear-say (probably heard thru your pro-LTT colleagues) that are baseless, unsubstantiated, and therefore, at best, a whole lot of crap! :x
[that said, i am not saying that [b]you necessarily feel that [/b]you're uttering crap! :? ]

[quote="Anonymouse"]
There is one thing I find strange about the Karuna "Propaganda" tactics. Why is it that Karuna places his interviews, statements on pro Government websites? why not place it on Tamil websites (well if you do, nobody is noticing it)
[/quote]
this is called [b]contradicting one's own self[/b]!
- not worth it (even for a silly ltte mouse)! :lol: :lol:
[oops, sorry! i meant [i]silly little mouse[/i]]

Every criminal Tamil is linked with the LTTE. The problem isn't the link, but the fact that's always a Tamil criminal or a Tamil who is somehow not loved by many Tamils who is making the headlines on a pro government website.. Where is the news about peace loving Tamils who are not part of the LTTE / TVMP and are saying the truth about the corrupt, greedy, selfish leaders of this country???
[/quote]
in media, the numbers matter!
[b]when there are [i]more [/i]Tamil criminals, drug/human-traffickers [/b]than there are Tamil peace-lovers in the diaspora, this is what happens! :!: why are you surprised about it? :?:

[quote="Anonymouse"]
I Think the media "kills" more Tamils than the Government, Tigers and the paramilitary together.

now since the tables have turned (kudos to Mahinda / JHU / JVP / persevering sinhala people of sri lanka), [b]i see you are getting a taste of what it feels like to be [i]under the table[/i]![/b] :wink:
all this time, it was the Sinhalese! :x

I think that SLA connection with Karuna is true even both Karuna and GOSL dineyed it. The GOSL try show the world that tamil people are divided into two groups which is north and east. It's a big loss for the LTT and the LTT should take that responsible for it. Most affected tamil people by this war are the people who liv in the East and they affected also by LTT.

Pirabakaran who say himself as a leader of the tamils never been in the East and meet this people.

East people will buy the Karuna's propaganda and it's sure that LTT will be driven off the East soon, then LTT have controll only the Wanni which is Tamil Eelam for them at the moment.

Pilliyan said that Tiger tactics are quite transparent. "They paid huge sums to buy over the SBS reporter to launch an international propaganda campaign against us. It has not paid any dividends to the Vanni Tigers. It has failed to have any impact."

I know many Tamil websites are pro LTTE. But when you use the pro government websites as your mouth piece, Tamils are quite offended by it. That's because these website are not only anti-Tiger, but they way they write about Tamils is also seen by many as being anti-Tamil.

Also AsianTribune is part of this. Every criminal Tamil is linked with the LTTE. The problem isn't the link, but the fact that's always a Tamil criminal or a Tamil who is somehow not loved by many Tamils who is making the headlines on a pro government website..
